Hi Jan, It has no such problems in Canon's, as far as I know. I have one that i Have used with Elan II's and D30, it is my regular lens when I take only one lens. I also own 28-135, and 28-105 Canon's. I would not say it flares more then 28-135. Flare has not been a thing that bothered me, esp. it comes with a hood and i use it all the time.
The AF works very quickly and silently, and of all the lenses, I love the wide manual focus ring on this camera, and use it very extensively when I am in a dark ballroom. The clutch mechanism for manual focusing is also very good. As for sharpness, I think it is sharper then 28-135 but not a whole lot. At 80mm 2.8 it is soft, but then you at least can take a picture at this aperture compared to 28-135. At least two other people (Yegey, and H. M,cClary is using this lens). It is a very heavy duty lens as well. I recommend it. Evrim ps. www.pdxswing.com , esp the last 1-2 months is pretty much all with this lens. Though I would bve careful not to jump to conclusions based on web graphics. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jan Kuman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2002 1:44 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: EOS: Tokina 280AF Pro for my EOS30 > > > Hi! > > I just sold my EF28-135IS lens and I'm considering to buy > Tokina AT-X 280AF Pro 28-80 f/2.8 lens as replacement.
